    ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH
“The Friendly Church.”
Rev. L. P. Bryant, pastor.
In spite of the many days of
rain, last Sunday morning was a
beautiful day and the attendance
at church and Sunday-school was
verv good.
The teachers still urge the
children to go to Sunday-school
on time. Now that the Public
schools are nearly out, there
should be more out on time.
Rev. Bryant preached a very
fine sermon Sunday morning to
an appreciative congregation. He
put great stress on the importance
of living an upright Christian
life, as so manv people are now
being taken without any warn
ing. He stated that the man who
is where the church is and does
not have salvation, is as much in
need as the man out where there
are no churches.
Now that the special efforts for
the trustee department are about
ever, the pastor will start to get
ting: his conference claims to
gether. It is the request of the
pastor, that the different clubs
and groups will get busy and get
their part of the claims together
before the time comes when all
will be in a rush to get theirs in. |
St. John’s senior choir is to
sing over WOW next Thursday
June 6th. We advise all to tune
in and assure you. of a very inter
esting and enjoyable program.
Now that summer vacationing
has come, and there will be many
strange faces coming to Omaha
during the coming months, we
invite them to make St. John
their church while in the city.
There will be many interesting
things going on in both the
church and social circles, so have
the boys to leave you an Omaha
Guide, so you can keep well
posted.
CHRIST TEMPLE CHURCH.
S. J. McIntyre, pastor.
Sunday school opened at 9:30
as usual with the superintendent
presiding.
The pastor delivered an inspir
ing message to us on, “The Man
For All Circumstances,” in the
morning worship. Through this
message a young lady was saved,
and joined the church.
At the night worship we again
enjoyed a splendid sermon on
“The Excellent-' Name.’’ The
pastor brought out so pointedly
that there is no name that has
the power and beauty as the name
“Jesus.”
On next Sunday, Childrens’
Day, which is the 9th, Mrs. Mc
Intyre will give the program ren
dered by the children at 3 o’clock.
Come and enjoy the little folks.

ST. BENEDICTS’ PARISH
NOTES.
The pienic for the school child
ren, given at Elmwood Park last
Monday, was a splendid success.
Over a hundred and twenty-five
children were entertained by the
members of the P. T. A., who fur
nished their lunch and transporta
tion, through {he generous assist
ance of merchants and friends.
Sister Mary Eulalia and Sister
Mary Genevieve were the honored
guests of the teachers of our
school and enjoyed a delicious
lunch with them.
The religious instruction class
started by the Pastor, Father
Pruess, is creating unusual inter
est among the converts and the
prospective converts and bids fair
to be the largest class of its kind
held at St. Benedicts. Much of
the interest is credited to Father
A. J. Wilwerding, who started the
convert movement several months
ago. The classes will be held
every Thursday evening at 8:00
o’clock promptly, in the church
room, until further notice.
We are delighted to welcome to
our congregation, Mr. and Mrs.
Squires and family. Mr. Squires
is the recently appointed Execu
tive Secretary of the Omaha Ur
ban League and Community
Center and comes from the im
portant position of Secretary of
Boys’ work of the Phillis Wheat
ly organization, of Minneapolis,
Minnesota. The entire family is
catholic of long and excellent
standing, and we are proud to
be able to add them to the roll
of St. Benedicts.

and brought him to Omaha.
Scorner of Estate
But Young insisted he wasn’t Mc
Elroy, wouldn’t go to Texas ,and
wanted nothing nothing to do
with the estate.
Pollock argued in vain, then re
turned to Texas to get the papers
in order. He returned here two
weeks ago with C. J. Lee of Hen
derson, a boyhood friend of Mc
elroy’s. Lee said Young was Mc
elroy ,but Young still denied it.
Monday afternoon Pollock took
Young to his hoi el, locked the
door, and “talked turkey. Young
still wouldn’t sign. When he left,
finally, he went to the police sta
tion and asked to be protected
against those who were irying to
get him to sign.
Demands Protection.
The argument continued yester
day with Young again at the
police station loudly demanding
protection. He was finally round
ed up by McGee and three other
Negro ministers all of them firm
adherents to the Pollock cause.
Young conferred with Chief of
Detectives Andersen and City
Prosecutor Robert Smith. Smith
said Young’s friends in Omaha
had told him they are convinced
he is the missing heir. Smith
suggested Young go to Texas,
taking an escort of two Omaha
policemen to protect him from
possible kidnapping. But Young
shook his head.
Today McGee announced Young
had signed on the dotted line and
that everything was fixed up. But
they are still uncertain whether
Young can be persuaded to go to
Texas. Pollock told him it was
all right; that he needn’t say any
thing and that his old friends
would ideniify him. Inspector
Anderson, who offered Monday
to accompany Young to Texas
and guard him personally, could
not persuade Young to go.
“I’m Not a-Goin,.”
Until today, Young's refrain
has been, “No, suh, I’m not a-goin’
to Texas!’’ He explained thus:
‘I’m a Christian man and I can’t
get into the gates of heaven under
anybody else’s name. My name’s
Daniel Young, and I don’t want
what belongs to somebody else.’’
He told his full family history to
prove he wasn’t McElroy, but his
friends remained unconvinced.
Pollock said he sought McElroy
purely as a business matter. He
wanted McElroy to sign a power
of attorney, or give him an option
on the land. He said he had spent
a year and a half and several
thousand dollars in the search,
and was afraid some rival might
reach Omaha at the last minute to
chisel in.
The I^verend Mr. McGee
thinks McElroy might donate
somethnig to complete the Church
of the New Hope, which so far is
only a covered basement.
Young at present does not have
a church.
school and B. Y. P. U., wish for
Rev. Price many more happy
birthdays.
OMAHA COMMUNITY BIBLE
FORUM
Last Thursday, being Decora
tion Day, as a tribute to the oc
casion, we chose for a lesson the
eleventh chapter of Hebrews. The
lesson starts off with a broad defi
nition of Faith. Now faith is the
substance or confidence of things
hoped for, the evidence or convic
tion of things not seen. It is al
ways looking for such things
through the wisdom and power
of God, as are proper objects of
hope. The doctrine of this chap
ter is that every noble purpose
and every strong and efficient ef
fort must have its source and de
rive its working force from Faith.
Today we honor our soldier
dead, who gave their lives for
the freedom of the slaves and to
preserve the unity of the states
and for Democracy, whose pur
pose and Faith must have been
prompted by their love of Justice
and Equity for all people.
The entire chapter is devoted
to the Enumeration of examples
from scripture history. These
soldiers of the cross obtained a
good report through Faith. They
suffered and died, looking for
a city, whose builder and maker
is God.
Elder W. I. Irving, supervisor.

LEADERSHIP OF CHILDREN
Text: A little child shall lead them.
—Isaiah 11:6.
1This was a phophecy. It referred
to Christ who was born a child. But
it was indicative of the leadership of
children and their influence over the
lives of their elders. Today, in the
^cardinal virtues, the world would pro
fit by following the leadership of
I children.
Childhood simplcity was emphasized
when Jesus set a little child in the
1 midst of His disciples and designated
it as an exemplar for mankind.
Cheerfulness is another feature.
|There is too much of gloom. The
world is in need of the cheerfulness
of a child, such as will beget the same
spirit and cause cheerful reaction.
Forgiveness constitutes one of the
severest tests and in this the example
of children is needed. Children for
give, if they are conscious of offenses
against them. Forgiving, they also
forget the injuries done.
As in these instances so, in all con
siderations and affiliations, the best is
attainable only by following the ex
ample and accepting the spiritual
leadership of children.

Baby Murder Mystery
Stirs City Residents
(Continued from Page 1)
trary to custom, this laundry man
failed to return for Mrs. Stapler’s
laundry the next day, the day
the child’s body was found. Sat
urday, he was seen on his route,
questioned, released.
When search for Coral started,
several hours after the boy’s re
port, Mrs. Stapler notified police.
Word quickly passed through the
small town, of Watts and all
school children, idle men and
housewives joined in one of the
biggest man hunts in this vicinity.
The child’s body was found 24
hours after she disappeared by
two small Mexican boys playing
hide and seek in vacant lot.
She had not been attacked, autop
sy revealed, nor had any part of
her clothing been disturbed.
There was also no sign of fright
upon her face which might have
indicated a struggle or anticipa
tion of the horrible death that
was her lot
Investigators are of the opinion
that someone familiar to the child
enticed or carried her away and
slipped the rope around her neck
before she was aware.
Her body was laid out under
an old box car, as if with parental
care, leaving no clue, except the
rope, to the identity of the killer.
No one saw the child leave her
home except a Mexican woman,
in red, who identified her later
at the funeral. She is also said
to have partially identified the
man seen carrying the child, but
officers would not reveal his name
Coral Stapler is a niece of Coral
and Elliott Johnson, the former,
president of Alpha Kappa sorori
ty; the latter, a recent candidate
for presidency of the N. A. A. C.
P., and both popular leaders in
social and intellectual circles
here.
Henry Stapler, father of the
dead child, is the younger member
of one of the oldest and most
prominent families in Los An
geles. His sis.ers, Maudie Trok
ey, modiste: Lula Henderson,
beautician, and Homer Brothers,
deputy City Clerk are well known
in social circles.
He is declared to be a skilled
electrician and inventor of very
eccentric habits. Inspector Norris
Stensland stated after grilling the
father many hours after the
murder, that he had no evidence
connecting Stapler with the
child’s death. He was first held
because of reported difficulties
between himself and his wife.
A coroner’s jury exonerated
him. However, a deputy sheriff
paraded him before neighbors in
the vicinity of the child’s home
to ascertain if he was the man
last seen with the child.
